dandelions and cookies

Lily and I got a little bit of precious mommy/daughter time. This is always a special time. While River ran some errands with Rocky...Aspen and I did a little cleaning (I know...what mother would have her child clean? Well, she likes to clean..sometimes. Today she helped me clean the kitchen. A huge help she was!!

Afterwards..she wanted to head outside. So, I grabbed the camera and off we went. What a beautiful day it was, by the way!

She headed to our little apple tree and wanted to point out to me all of the budding leaves. :-)

Next up...dandelions! She gathered up quite a few then went to town blowing the little white dandelion petals into the air..






After all the dandelion fun we headed inside and made some flourless peanut butter cookies with dark chocolate chips. She is such a great helper in the kitchen. So thankful for my sweet little girl and for those precious mother/daughter time together.
Oh, and the cookies turned out delicious, in case you were curious. :-)

Flourless chocolate chip cookies

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sweetener (1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 stevia)
1 T baking powder
1 egg (or a chia egg)
dark chocolate chips (optional, but add a great touch)

Mix all together. Roll into little balls, then put on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 2 minutes, then enjoy! These are bit crumbly, but very yummy!

Have a blessed rest of the week!

a spring nature hunt



a time to explore some of God's creation in nature.

leafy, specifically, wanted to look for lizards...the thing about lizards, though,  is that they are quick..thus, we did not "catch" any lizard pictures..

here are some of the pretties we saw and appreciated...

Shout joyfully to God...How awesome are your works.
Psalm 66:1,3
